Gap Baggy Jeans in Medium Wash
Over the last few years, baggy jeans have made a comeback and are now a dominant trend in men’s jeans. You’d be hard-pressed not to find this silhouette on the shelves of mainstream retailers, including Gap. Its baggy jeans are a great place to start if you’re on the fence about a looser fit, because they’re not as exaggerated as some of the other pairs out there. We recommend the medium wash, because it’s both timeless and reminiscent of the 1990s — yet another trend in men’s fashion.
H&M Relaxed Jeans in Light Denim Blue
The great thing about a relaxed fit is that it flatters most body types and is versatile enough to dress down or up. The light denim blue color of these H&M jeans is similar to higher-end pairs that retail for $300 (we’re looking at you, A.P.C.). For everyday wear, style them with a white tee and your favorite kicks; to turn it up a few notches, add a tailored blazer.
Levi’s 505 Regular Fit Jeans (Big & Tall) in Desert Taupe
Levi’s offers a range of clothing for big and tall men, with waist sizes running from 32 to 66 and inseams from 28 to 38. The 505 Regular Fit jeans sit at the waist, are standard through the thigh, and have a straight leg opening. Constructed with one percent elastane, it’s just the right amount of stretch to keep things comfortable. We like the desert taupe color because it’s easy to style with other clothing and because, well, not all jeans have to be blue.
Zara Laser Print Jeans in Blue
If you’re searching for a statement jean, consider this pair by Zara. The laser-washed effect has the look of a luxury fashion brand’s denim — for example, Dries Van Noten comes to mind. With a straight fit, five pockets, and front button closure, these jeans are pretty classic but offer a visual twist. Wear them with a hoodie and sneakers, or throw on a pair of vintage cowboy boots to take your ’fit to the next level.
Carhartt Utility Jeans in Cove
For jeans that need to help you get the job done, it’s all about function without sacrificing form. Enter Carhartt’s classic utility jeans, with plenty of pockets on the sides of the legs for your tools and accessories. We recommend the lighter blue wash because it looks equally good on the job as it does with a fitted T-shirt and boots on the weekend.
Uniqlo EZY Ultra Stretch Jeans in Blue
Imagine your jeans could feel as comfortable as sweatpants? That was the thinking behind Uniqlo’s EZY Ultra Stretch jeans. They combine the sleekness of a slim fit jean with a pile lining and an elastic waist with a drawstring that makes you feel like you’re wearing sweats. Available in eight colors, you might find yourself adding one of each to your cart, but we suggest starting with the dark blue.
Collusion x002 Baggy Jeans in Tree Camo Print
If you’re bored of the jeans in your rotation, consider denim with a print. This pair by Collusion — exclusive to ASOS — features a camo print that’s slightly more abstract than the usual. The roomier fit and wide leg opening looks great when worn with chunky sneakers and a fitted top.
Zara Straight Fit Topstitched Jeans in Indigo
For those of you who like to broadcast your style quietly, it’s all in the details. These classic, straight fit, indigo jeans by Zara are reimagined with a white stitching that offers just enough contrast to make a statement without turning everyone’s heads. Look sharp by pairing it with a black T-shirt and black dress shoes; add a matching indigo denim jacket to turn a few more heads.
